Welcome to the home of the GPU Users Group, Inc.

The GPU Users Group is a charitable non-profit organization founded by a group of computer hobbyists and enthusiasts who have a common interest: using off-the-shelf computers for processing, at high speed, large amounts of distributed data for leading scientific research projects by using inexpensive Graphical Processing Units (GPUs) commonly found in computer video cards. This is also known as High Performance Computing, or HPC.

Our members are located around the world yet serve a common goal: promoting scientific research and progress via the facilitation of charitable contributions, and enhancing the effectiveness of research projects by providing free high performance computing power to scientific organizations and their projects.

Attention GPUUG Members and guests:
The site has gone through a large update to a new content management platform, has moved to a new server, and has been updated with new features, the most notable of which is the ability to make donations on the site. We currently accept PayPal (you can even donate without a PayPal account using your credit card,) and will soon accept checks and are now accepting checks and money orders. We also have plans to allow direct donations with your credit card not using PayPal sometime in the future.
